Admetus-D god roll & best perks

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 136 from 1 April 2025 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/6I828LxsIqdth4iIlSYRmG?si=8022df8ede664223) with @CourtProjects, @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): Backup PvE pick clearing Minor adds in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content, particularly with void builds. Admetus-D is a rare energy Häkke weapon - a void scout rifle with the High-Impact frame intrinsic of ×0.8 accuracy cone size and ×0.83 accuracy cone growth when you're stationary or moving less than 2.8m/s, for easier crits and hits. At base, by comparison with its peers, the stats are good - 65 Range equates to 80.88m ADS and 40.44m hipfire before damage dropoff, 29 Stability is ×1.1202 flinch resist at 100 Resilience, 30 Handling is 0.45s ready, 0.36s ADS and 0.44s stow speed, 35 Reload Speed is a 2.27s reload, Recoil Direction is 76, Zoom is 21, and magazine size is 14 (max 20). Handling and Reload Speed are the stats that needs the most TLC, so that's the top choice for the barrel and magazine perks, although the combat effect rounds are also good choices. If you prefer plinking away at enemies from a distance, you can use the combination of Rapid Hit or Keep Away in the first trait perk column to improve gunfeel without needing a kill. In the second, Frenzy boosts damage by ×1.15 and maxes out Handling and Reload Speed or, use the void-friendly options of Demoralize to spread weaken in an AoE cloud on a crit kill to deal with crowds, or Withering Gaze to apply weaken to a beefier single target by ADSing for 1.5s. Both apply 15% void weaken for an effective ×1.176 damage boost for 6s for your whole fireteam. If you're interested, Admetus means "untamed" and was the king of Pherae in Thessaly, Ancient Greece, who was saved by Apollo from his fated death when his wife Alcestis offered to die in his place. The Häkke Breach Armaments origin trait is situationally useful, passively boosting damage against vehicles (×1.15), constructs (×1.3) and stasis crystals (×1.45). Recommended MW: Handling or Reload Speed, with a Backup Mag mod or, when masterworked, Synergy to create Void Breaches or, when the artifact mod's around, Stunloader. Also, don't forget to check whether there's a useful Seasonal Fragile mod for the activity you're running.|tags:PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "There's not a lot that needs to be said about Admetus-D. It has a great reload perk in Rapid Hit, paired with an equally good damage perk in Precision Instrument. Or you can opt for Repulsor Brace and Withering Gaze for Void synergy. Then you could also go for a general purpose scout with Recycled Energy being a nice new perk to top off your ability charges." Recommended MW: Handling.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "When it comes to PvP these scouts need all the help they can get. And Withering Gaze is just that. An extra effect that anyone on your team can take advantage of. Outside of that, Lone Wolf and Keep Away both help boost your lower stats." Recommended MW: Handling.

Handling is the stat that needs the most TLC, so that's the top choice for the barrel perks. Then, for a stick-it-in-your-vault for when the artifact mod is around, the combination of Armor-Piercing Rounds for ×1.05 damage to shields and barriers, together with Repulsor Brace for a void overshield for killing void debuffed targets and Withering Gaze to apply 15% weaken for an effective ×1.176 damage boost for 6s for your whole fireteam should make short work of Barrier Champions.
